Simply Black and White

Hi friends! I have two Black and White cards to share today that I made for challenges over on Split Coast.

My first card combines last week's CAS challenge -to use white on white - and the Technique Lover's Challenge - to use half an image or die cut.

I used half of my brandy-new Weathered Clock die by Tim Holtz on my card - layering
it on the white panel with foam tape. I added the clock hands secured
with a brad and also popped up on foam tape. And finally one lonely
white butterfly.

Thursday is Kent and my 15th wedding anniversary - we went to a
Bed and Breakfast in CT - Old Mystic Inn, this past weekend to celebrate - but we didn't exchange cards yet - so this
will be my card for him with a special message inside!

I went to look in my ribbon box for some ruffled white and came upon
this cute little pom pom ribbon. I adhered it to the black cake with
ScorTape. I adhered the stamped panel to a black panel embossed with
Wicker Weave. Then I simply stamped CELEBRATE in the corner. This
could be used for a wedding, anniversary or birthday don't you think?! The stamps are from Eat Cake by Waltzingmouse.
